This morning’s Back-to-School Faculty & Staff Pep Rally was one for the books!
Teachers and staff from every corner of Wakulla County Schools packed the Wakulla High School gym to kick off the 2025–2026 school year with school spirit and pride. It was the first district-wide Welcome Back Pep Rally under Superintendent Rick Myhre, and the energy was undeniable.
From the moment they arrived, attendees were greeted by the powerful sounds of the Wakulla High School Marching Band, the WHS Color Guard, and cheerleaders from Riversprings Middle, Wakulla Middle, and Wakulla High—creating a high-energy welcome that set the tone for the year ahead.
🎤 Powerful words were shared by District Employee of the Year Sean Simmons, followed by Colleen Maley, 2025 District Teacher of the Year, who set the gym—and Superintendent Myhre—on fire with her inspiring message.
📸 Check out some highlights from today (AND to find out which school won the 2025 SPIRIT STICK!)>> https://youtu.be/l8wIXzeehtQ
A grab-and-go breakfast was provided to keep our educators fueled as they headed into a day of professional learning and preparation for students’ return.
🙏 Special thanks to our generous sponsors who made the event possible:
Centennial Bank • English Financial Group • Myra Jeans • Publix • Jones Plumbing • C&L Pilings • Dunkin Donuts • Civic Brewing
This is just the beginning—big things are ahead for Wakulla County Schools in 2025–2026!

Summer Enrichment Camp Enrollment Now Open – Spots Filling Fast!
Wakulla County Schools is excited to offer our Summer Enrichment Camp Program for current students finishing kindergarten through 4th grade (ages 6–10). Each week features a unique theme, and hands-on activities designed to keep students active, engaged, and learning all summer long.
Spots are filling fast. If you're interested in enrolling your child, now is the time.
How to Register:

Parents and Guardians,
Wakulla County Schools are actively monitoring the active shooter situation at FSU. A small number of students were on a field trip in Tallahassee to participate in the Special Olympics Torch Run, and they have all been accounted for safely. Their return to Wakulla County may be delayed as law enforcement in Tallahassee is responding to the active situation. Their return may impact the timing of our afternoon bus routes, and more information will be shared as that timing is better known.
All WCS schools are still operating as normal and will dismiss at the regular time. We appreciate you patience as we work through this unfortunate situation.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved at FSU, and we will be prepared to assist our students and families who may be impacted directly.
This summer, the Wakulla County School District is offering an enrichment camp program for current students finishing kindergarten through 4th grade, ages 6-10 (must be currently enrolled in WCSD to attend).
If you are interested in enrolling your student in our Summer Enrichment Program, please complete the information below and return it via email (summerenrichment@wcsb.us) or drop it off at
the District Office (69 Arran Road).
